Glass cleaning apparatus having a fabric cleaning surface

Abstract

An apparatus for removing ice, frost or bugs from a glass surface includes a bottle having an outer surface and an end. The apparatus also includes a base attached to the end of the bottle and washer interposed between the bottle and the base. The apparatus further includes a guard extending from the washer so as to define a space interposed between the bottle and the guard. In addition, the apparatus includes a plurality of gripping members extending outwardly from the outer surface of the bottle. The gripping members increase the ergonomic efficiency of the apparatus. The base of the apparatus has flutes extending therefrom for the removal of ice or frost from a glass surface. Alternatively, the base can have a fabric attached thereto for the removal of bugs from a glass surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An apparatus for cleaning glass, comprising: a bottle having (i) a chamber defined therein for containing a liquid, and (ii) an access opening through which said liquid may enter and exit said bottle;   a base removably attached to said bottle, said base (i) being configured to completely cover said access opening when said base is attached to said bottle, and (ii) having a recess defined therein;   a fabric secured to said base such that said fabric (1) covers a bottom surface of said base when said base is attached to said bottle, and (2) a portion of said fabric is positioned within said recess; and   a washer interposed between said bottle and said base, said washer including a guard which is spaced apart from said bottle so as to define a protective space between said bottle and said guard whereby fingers of a user's hand are positioned in said protective space when a user's hand grasps said bottle.   
     
     
       2. An apparatus for cleaning glass, comprising: a bottle having (i) a chamber defined therein for containing a liquid, and (ii) an access opening through which said liquid may enter and exit said bottle;   a base removably attached to said bottle, said base (i) being configured to completely cover said access opening when said base is attached to said bottle, and (ii) having a recess defined therein;   a fabric secured to said base such that said fabric (1) covers a bottom surface of said base when said base is attached to said bottle, and (2) a portion of said fabric is positioned within said recess;   a number of ice engaging members which are attached to and extend from said bottom surface of said base, wherein said fabric is attached to said base so as to cover said number of ice engaging members; and   a foam backer interposed between said number of ice engaging members and said fabric.
